Is this not a lock ? Colts-3 (ev)

firedawg · 12-22-10, 11:52 AM

i thought the raiders were still alive?

Raiders are one of the most volatile teams in the league, but they have destroyed a bunch of teams over the past 8 weeks. They're as talented as the Colts are. That being said, Asomugha's health is a big concern.

Ninersnut · 12-22-10, 12:10 PM

Correct. This is not a lock.

Hard to bet against Manning in a must win!
However, people are pounding the Colts ... Raiders run game can keep this one close!

Has the line always been Colts -3 because if it has, the fact that it pays +100 tells me the public's on the Raiders. I know the Raiders have improved vastly but the postseason is on the line for the Colts. The Jags are favored to win this weekend which means the Colts and Jags should be tied going into the last week of the season. Seems like a lock!

Not a lock but I lean to Indy

Mr Handicapable · 12-22-10, 01:04 PM

Huge but realistic Colts fan here! I think a key to this one might come down to how KC does in one of the early games vs Tennessee! If KC holds serve at home then Oak is eliminated! I don't see how they couldn't have a letdown in that situation? That being said....the Colts have a TON of holes due to injuries...losing Collie again is a crusher....losing another starter w/CB Powers hurts alot as well! I've been strictly playing Indy over lately since they still score and their decent defense is now mediocre at best! I think they lose in the 1st round of the playoffs at home vs Ravens/Jets but squeak by Oakland!

ElCapitan · 12-22-10, 01:27 PM

Here we go again with IND -3 vs TEN circa two weeks ago.

Nard Dog · 12-22-10, 01:57 PM

Run DMC (aka Darren McFadden) will keep it close.

Doc JS · 12-22-10, 02:02 PM

Well...its not a lock...

Indy hasn't been a good road team/outdoors team/grass field team.

The Raiders can run the football. Indy has problems stopping the run.

I think Indy wins and covers but its certainly not a lock...

some people just don't get it.. most bettors got buried on that colts titans game.. same setup this Sunday.. Vegas want you to pick colts.. again it's just too good to be true.. Colts are done for this season.

bachngocduong · 12-22-10, 02:30 PM

anyway on Colts side

My prediction for this week... Colts win, Jags lose. Rex Grossman was an animal last week thowing for 4 TD's. Jags secondary will get lit up. I trust manning to get through this with the "W" and cover.

KuLaPhU · 12-22-10, 02:37 PM

Who knows? Public might win this time. Goodluck colts backers!

sportsfun · 12-22-10, 02:38 PM

raiders run good and colts d is prone to be shown up by running teams.

Jessica · 12-22-10, 02:40 PM

Isn't Austin Collie out?

unde0087 · 12-22-10, 02:46 PM

Lock? have you seen Manning this year? He is missing a ton of his offense and tends to force throws to try and win games. Raiders could come away with some easy points off pick 6's.

surffreak · 12-22-10, 05:52 PM

collie is hurt. gonzalez and clark are still out, oakland will shut down wayne, leaving no one for peyton.

dont bet against peyton, but it should be a close game.

oakland has always played tough in the past, when there payoff shot was hopeless..

haha, i was looking for the "dont bet against peyton" guy. I always think of some 70 year old redneck that doesn't know anything about handicapping when I read that. Aren't you the same guy that said "dont bet against peyton" before the Colts got beat up by the Texans?

Attention! Don't bet against Tom Brady or Drew Brees either. System play in effect.

This is what you wrote when the Colts played the Texans in week 1:

because the texans have always been a tough competetor against the colts. This year schaub is looking great as well as andre johnson. Usually the texans get a good lead in the first half then blow it. But this year they have arian foster. alot of people think hes the solver of this issue and that its texans year to run down the clock and substane the lead. people believe that its the texans time to beat the colts. especially since there the super bowl losers.

With any other team i would agree with everyone. But however its the colts lead by peyton. I agree with you, i dont see it happening against the colts. peyton has weapons all over now, and a lot of guys are healthy again. Peyton is incredible winning games straight up. I dont think people are realizing that theyre betting against peyton... Never Bet against peyton.

NEVER BET AGAINST PEYTON!

I am liking the Raiders outright....

LT Profits · 12-22-10, 09:54 PM

Colie out for the year could mean no playoffs for Colts.

Grind House · 12-22-10, 10:02 PM

The Raiders have a good pass defense. The Colts have no one to throw to. The Raiders have the most sacks in the league. The Colts offense of line is beaten up. The Colts have to travel across country. The Raiders have been rushing for 200 yards for the past few games. Colts run D is shit. Don't see why people think the Colts are gonna win this one.

Statman · 12-22-10, 10:16 PM

Raiders are a different team this year and appear to be heading in a much better direction than years previous. Nonetheless, this line makes me nervous as Indy does not have all their weapons. Of Indy's 6 losses this year thus far, 4 of those were on the road to Houston, Jacksonville, NE and Philly.

Must win???? How is it a must win for the Colts? Not even close....

texashighroller · 12-23-10, 01:00 AM

dont like betting on any raiders games

raidersfan · 12-23-10, 01:02 AM

Raiders are rolling strong right now, the Raiders ML is my bet

Yes it is, if the Colts lose this game, they fall behind Jacksonville in the tiebreaker.

brahmabull117 · 12-23-10, 01:14 AM

how the hell is this a lock??

the colts are 3-4 on the road with a horrible run defense
raiders are 5-2 at home with the best run game in the league

this is an awful matchup for the colts

Fleeben · 12-23-10, 01:18 AM

Not even close to a lock, numerous teams have been swallowed by the black hole.

Pappas40 · 12-23-10, 01:34 AM

Colts will lose.....stone cold lock
